Lately...

We've been fairly busy lately, I bet you can't imagine why :)  But here are a few pictures of the kiddos lately and what they've been up to.  

I love (well, sometimes) seeing what the kids come up with when left to themselves.  Below, they made a "slide" using the box from Ansley's bday present. They may or may not have been sliding/jumping from the chair.

 

Ansley has been enjoying helping me with the dishes.  The other day, I got rid of some stuff and rearranged some dishes so I could clear off the counters better and so Ansley could reach more to be able to help unload the dishwasher and help set the table.

 Eleri seems to be getting stronger (and more beautiful) by the day.  Here she is exercising during tummy time. 

Ansley and Caedmon love to "play" connect four.

 

Here's our latest hand-me-down.  A swing set!!  The kids love it (and so do we, although the slide makes me a little nervous).  To the right of the picture is 2 swings and another set of rings.

Eleri will still sometimes take her paci, but I think it's safe to say she's following in Ansley's footsteps and becoming a thumb-sucker!  (Yep, she tends to cover her whole face in the process)

 And here she is enjoying our borrowed-bumbo.  She's also enjoying Daddy making silly faces at her.

 So, there you go.  Things are a bit crazy around here sometimes.  OK, that's an understatement.  Things are very crazy around here pretty much all the time.  But we're loving it (usually) and wouldn't change these kids for anything!!
